Katadyn Hiker Water Microfilter
Clean Water in a Flash

Ranked #2 - Water Filters
November 12, 2007
I have the PUR version of this microfilter & I've been using it since 2001. Filters water faster than any pump I've ever used with the exception of the Timberline but with better results, .3 microns compared to 1 micron for the Timberline. Glass fiber filter element, depending on use, lasts for many seasons. Durable & easy to assemble. The only downside is it's weight, 11oz dry & 14oz after use. Still a small price to pay for good, clean water in a flash.
